Nearly All the Old Men and Some of the New Have Offices BAND MAKES APPEARANCE Freshmen were given their first taste of military training when the University regiment formed on Twelfth street in front of the Armory last night. Old and new men grouped themselves in their company forma tions and went through the soldier primer under the instruction of com missioned student officers. From the looks of the grand army last night, there will be little drilling of old units separately from new ones this year, for every available man who has had drill has been given either a commissioned or non-commissioned office and has been assigned to duty drilling first-year men. A number of freshmen themselves have been ror tunate enough to secure positions as non-coms by virtue of previous mili tary training. The rule that every phisically-fit freshman, unless religious scruples or other verv urgent reason prevented, should drill, has been thoroughly en forced this fall, and there are very few who did not report last vV,ght. The same number of companies in the citv regiment has been maintained and there is scarcely any reduction In their size. No definite announcement has been made in reeard to uniforms. It was reDorted at one time that the govern ment would furnish them, inasmuch as the regiment is a division of the rpsprvfi officers training corps. If this is the case, the nthe uniforms used will probably conform strictly to army regulations, which will mean doing away with the visored cadet caps ana straight trousers. In former years the burden of buying the uniforms has fallen on each cadet. Whatever arrangements are made about uniforms, it is common talk that the training eacn cadet recovers will be mucn morn intense than b fore. Not only win the rudiments of marching, the manual of arms, and the soldier primer be learned, but a greater number of smxo skirmishes, field tactics, field discipline, tnd up-to-date methods of attack and defense will be taught the men. The University band, although It is no longer a cadet organization, got the fever when it saw the companies lined ud on Twelfth street, and naraded around the campus playing Cornhus ker music. The band is strictly a vol unteer organization this year, since no drill credits are allowed for member ship in it, but there was no evidence that the work of tne unit was to suner "by this arrangement. x L."

Hugo Otouoalik, Veteran Back, Nebraska s Punter Hugo Otoupalik is a veteran back field man and one of the most de pendable punters Nebraska has had in recent years. On the great 1915 team Otie was the man who did all th ? .. . i. . punting and much of the defensive work. This year he Is showing more stuff than ever, in booting the ball and handling forward passes. Otoupalik has been intercollegiate light heavyweight wrestling champion for the past two years, being captain of the Cornhusker team both seasons. Otoupalik has one drawback and that is his name, the spelling of which has caused newspaper men and sporting writers of this part of the country more grief than a score of ordinary names do. DEAN LYMAN INTRODUCES, RECOMMENDATION FOR COURSES AT PHARMACY CONFERENCE Dean R. A. Lyman, head of the de partment of physiology and pharma cology, attended a meeting of the American conference of pharmaceu tical faculties at Indianapolis, the last week in August. Dean Lyman was president of the conference, which represented 43 of the leading univer sities and colleges of the United States. The recommendation was intro duced by Dean Lyman, and passed by the conference, that after 192d, no srhools beloneinK to the conference could admit students of pharmacy who had not completed at least four years of high school work, and that after 1925 all students be required to have one year general college training to be admitted. Although not definitely decided UDon. the feeling was strong ly expressed, Dean Lyman said, that after 1930 students who wish to enter pharmacy colleges, be compelled to finish first two year's college work. NORMAN CURTICE ENTERS OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP AT MEAUX, FRANCE Mr. and Mrs. Ross P. Curtice have received word from their son, who is with the transportation service in France, that he has entered an offi cers' training camp at Meaux, France. Mr. Curtice was one of the thirty-five men to be chosen out of 1,000 for this camp. The training will be of five weeks' duration and the commissions will all be first lieutenants. Mr. Cur tice writes that as the ambulance serv ice was taken over by the United States, so. it is expected, will be the transportation service in several weeks. As a result the men attend ine the officers' reserve camps will be lieutenants in the United States army instead of in the French army. FORMER STUDENT TELLS OF UNI. DRUG GARDEN Scientific American and Popular Mechanics Contain Interest ing Description A large half-page illustration of the drug plant garden at the University of Nebraska, accompanied by a two column article describing the garden, appears in the latest issue of the Scientific American. A smaller pic ture of the garden and an interior view of the pharmacy roms showing plants as they are drying has been published in the October number of Popular Mechanics. The articles are written by R. P. Crawford, of Lincoln, a former Uni versity student Mr. Crawford ex plains, '.'What is believed to be the first course of its kind to be offered in a university has been established at Nebraska this year, consisting of the study of the raising, curing and preservation of crude drugs." "While there are commercial drug gardens where varieties of plants are raised, there are few gardens where practically every plant producing a well-known drug is represented. As many as thirteen varieties of a single plant, digitalis, have been grown, and . . , ,,. J . 1. - A 1 1111 wnen u is recaueu mai mCc different kinds of plants in the garden, the magnitude of the undertaking Is apparent." "The trees and shrubs have been placed on one side, while the smiller plants are set in little plots, each sur rounded by grass. In the center is a pool around which the water plants are arranged. So skillfully Is the work done that the casual observer would take the garden to be only a decora tive feature of the grounds."
